Or what they use for insulation.
In my house it's always the battle of accumulations. Filled bookcases
mean less room for pottery and less wall space for artwork. Ideally
one should have a large palace with a library and curatorial staff.
But that probably gets to be a nuisance too--all those annoying
peasants to be put down.

"Not since the 1982 publication of Paul Auster's Random House Book of
Twentieth Century French Poetry has a bilingual anthology so
effectively broadened the sense of poetic terrain outside the United
States and also created a superb collection of foreign poems in
English. There is nothing else like it." John Palattella in The
